Astronomers using NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) exoplanet-hunting mission have detected the rising and decaying optical afterglow...
Gravitational-wave and electromagnetic observations of neutron-star-black-hole mergers can provide precise local measurements of the Universe’s rate...
Astronomers using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) have discovered a rotating dwarf galaxy 1/100th the size of the Milky Way in...
Astronomers from the Gaia Gravitational Lenses group have identified 12 quadruply-imaged gravitationally-lensed quasars using machine-learning methods...
The Standard Model of particle physics currently provides our best description of fundamental particles and their interactions. The new results from CERN’s...
Using data from the Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope, astronomers have identified emission from two isomers of a small polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon...
The source of the 160,000-light-year-long jet of particles is PSO J352.4034-15.3373 (PJ352-15 for short), a rapidly growing supermassive black hole, or...
Astronomers using several ground-based telescopes have spotted the most distant cosmic jet discovered so far. Its source is PSO J172.3556+18.7734, a radio-loud...
Recent measurements of the expansion rate of the Universe have plunged the standard model of cosmology, the ΛCDM model, into a crisis. In a new paper...
Theoretical physicists from Italy, Spain and Argentina propose a new mechanism for the creation of supermassive black holes from dark matter.
Galaxy halos...
The majority of supermassive black holes lie dormant and starved of fuel; these hidden giants can be temporarily illuminated when an unlucky star passes...
ALESS 073.1, a star-forming galaxy located 12.5 billion light-years away, has all of the features expected of a much more mature galaxy and has led astronomers...
In a paper to be published in the journal Physics Letters B, a duo of theoretical physicists from the University of Sussex shows that quantum gravity leads...
If ‘stupendously large’ black holes, those with masses more than 100 billion times that of the Sun, exist in the Universe, they would provide a powerful...
Using a deep residual neural network and data from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) Legacy Imaging Surveys, astronomers have discovered...
Astronomers using the MeerKAT radio telescope at the South African Radio Astronomy Observatory in Cape Town, South Africa, have discovered two new radio...
The newly-discovered quasar is located approximately 13.03 billion light-years away from Earth. Designated J031343.84-180636.4 (J0313-1806 for short),...
Astronomers using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) have discovered a massive starburst galaxy with a tail of star-forming gas in...
Astronomers using the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope have detected and studied numerous young star clusters in six merging galaxy systems.
